There's a reason that Des Moines is staying a secret ;)
Besides, all that great stuff like Field of dreams and what not is over in our side, the Quad Cities side, of Iowa. Isn't Des Moines actually part of Baja Minnesota? You do have better hobby shops though. I look forward to the Des Moines model shows every year. If nothing else, it's a chance to check out all of Matt's new projects in the One True Scale and those incredible great big planes that Lance makes, those things are huge! Something like 1/48 scale. Now that's big!

We have a couple of decent hobby shops and a liquor store, so the place has got everything I need.

Well I spent last doing models. I worked on both the Taube and the Vimy. I
didn't have much to do on the Taube until my Americal Decals came in,
perhaps a couple of hours of touchup and Future coat...but hey...the decals
were delivered by a neighbor of mine last night!!
BTW..I checked out Laskodi's EIII...what he did was paint the metal cowl
area with GunMetal..then he swirled it with a silver paint pen. To late for
mine now..I have to think about it.
The VIMY is progressing...I ordered all my parts and also got the 1 1/2
strutter from Eric. He and I had a nice talk on the phone. The Vimy
fuselage has alll the holes filled in and is looking good.
I am going to clean up the other parts and also start working on the power
eggs. I may try to build a structure where I can have some of the
inspection panels removed from the cowlings so you can see my engines. I
always get ambitions in the initial phase of a project. But I'm having fun.

Hi
Thanks D.
I just sent in some more images to Cam. The Spandaus are done and I'm very close to finishing the fuse.
Which is all I will have done by oct 1. The wings and radiator will have to wait till next month.
I think I will have enough time to generate a couple of schemes though.
A big thank you to Cam - He's done a lot of work maintaining the site and he deserves a lot of credit.
And I believe he agreed to do it again for the next cook-up (at least I think I rember him saying that).
I think for the next cookup I'm going to scale down my effort a little. Maybe something with a level of detail more like a 1/48 scale model. and only what is visible from the outside. Well at least I'll start out with that intent.
Also thanks to RK Gaston and D. for their help with reference.
btw - I'm taking my two oldest sons on a last minute camping trip this weekend to Limerock CT with the Cub Scouts. Should be fun - But It is going to be COLD.
see ya

Subject: Re: Toko/Roden Hansa W29
Message-ID:
temporarily delurking......
Myles,
I agree that the Toko w.29 goes together pretty well, though as Matt has
pointed out, it has some characteristics that apply only to the prototype
and not the production aircraft. Much can be corrected if you combine parts
from the MPM kit ($11.25 from Roll Models, I think). For $1.25 more than
the Part photoetch set made for the Toko, the MPM kit has the correct
fuselage and its own (smaller) photoetch set.
I will be attempting to build a corrected version this way (as laid out in
Replic magazine, which Matt kindly provided me a translation of, and I will
share if interested). But first I just built the Toko as is to get some
experience under my belt (only my third OT kit). It looks great and is a
fun build (though I still find lining up struts can be a pain, and this one
isn't even a biplane! Ah well, I'll get better with experience). Get some
Pegasus or Americal/Gryphon naval lozenge, though.
If this is one of your favorite birds (and it appears you prefer 1/48),
check out the Flashback kit in 1/48 scale, if you haven't already. Not
perfect but it can be built up into a fine model (there are some good ones
in the photo gallery on this site - Tom Cleaver's looks really good and
comes to mind - not to slight any others but I can't remember where they
are). The same Replic issue (a French magazine, issue #94 ?, I'm at work
and its at home) has an article on building this kit, but I unfortunately
don't have a translation for this article. SAMI (vol 5 no 5 May 1999 -
happen to have this one with me trying to order back issues) also has an
article on building the Flashback kit, though the builder in Replic has done
a much nicer job of it comparing photos, imho.
Good luck!

Gee, you're right. Spectators at sporting events in the UK are so civilized.
I've never seen any soccer crowds get out of hand or stampede like a bunch of
cattle and kill some innocent people because the "wrong" team won.
I love to see US sports and fans get hammered on a list about WWI models.
Especially since I make part of my living by standing on the sidelines of
said NFL games photographing this "sub-human" ritual. 8-)
PS-In answer to the original question, yes, the US Team is kicking ASS! As

Having had the privelege of slapping a Mk.I eyeball on each of these models,
I can only say that the photos do not do them justice. Jack's attention to
finish and the "IPMS basics" is impecable and an inspiration not to mention
a challenge to all of us in the local club. His ot work is equally

Sports and WW1 modelling. What an interesting connection. In the cloud of
dreams I usually live on, a large diorama depicting a football match during
the unofficial Christmas Truce of 1914 always come to mind. Soldiers
running, playing football on a shelled field, laughing, exchanging small
presents... a truly challenge for the modeler.

Hi All,
I am looking to build a 1/48 Aviatik D-1 in Linke-Crawford's markings. I have
the Americal/Gryphon sheet that has the hex camo, but I need his personal
markings. I was told they were on an Americal sheet with a bunch of other
Austro-Hungarian markings, but I thought maybe someone on the list already has
them and would want to sell or trade. I only need his, so I would like to avoid
buying the entire sheet. I understand that the Eduard Flashback release?? had
these markings? Reply off list if you can part with these. TIA

Must correct an error. Got one to few in my XXoxides. The correct
exhaliong puts Carbon DIoxide into the upper potriton of the paint
container. CO2 Like CO will keep oxygen away from the paint itself and
if you re-cap it quickly it does stay in place.
Hope no one experienced to much trouble trying to exhale CO it really tries
to stay in the blood stream.
A hint. If you live in Texas you know we have "Killer Bees" and they can
follow you by detecting the CO2 you exhale. If you can run long distances
with out breathing they lose the scent and you are home free.
Unless they are 1918 Nieuport 28 KBs' Then they track by sight.

Very interesting Lee
Before I traded it off, I used to run my airbrush off a regulated bottle of
CO2. CO2 is an excellent gas for airbrushing as it is dry and as you have
pointed out, will not react with the paint.
I'll remember that if I ever get another CO2 powered aribrush, in the mean
time my paint bottles will have to put up with my bad breath ;-)

Yeah, but if you don't have adequate ventilation, you might fall asleep and
not wake up again!

Y'know, that WOULD be a great diorama. A diorama that is both noble and
tragic: noble that both sides forgot about the war for an evening, Allied
and German troops playing, drinking, and singing together. Tragic because
there was to be all of the slaughter that happened for another 3 years.

FWIW, Steve Hustad has already done something like that. I can't
remember the specifics but I think he had both French and German
retrieving water from the same well.
Has anybody else received the IPMS Journal, and able to see his dio's?
That man is an artist.

My entries are going to be late as well. No excuses other than I put too
much on my plate to finish my own. They are however very close. They will be
in soon if "Leptiens" will cooperate a little!

Yes, and I still think we should break his fingers.
(But in a nice friendly way...)
I am still amazed to think of the Airfix He 177 he had in Columbus - truly
amazing, and his WWI stuff just gets better and better.
(Maybe we should break his toes too to be sure...)

Hi Folks,
I have a quick question:Which is the better, more
accurate of the 2 1/32 D.VIII kits, Falcon or Koster?
Couldn't find anything in the archives. Probably not
using the right search criteria..... TIA
Regards,

Tom,
I must disagree here. Many of the later Sopwiths were outstandingly ugly,
witness the Hippo and Snark. The Dolphin was good looking in comparison.

To do L.C's D.I you need a sheet of A-H lozenge and some black paint. .. His
marking was a white outlined 'L' on a black band behind the fuselage. this
is illustrated on my CD and website. The L could be made from a cut up
cross. The Flashback markings have the band in red. . which is incorrect as
Flik 60 used black .. Flik 14 used red.
